The House of Representatives by a
decided majority defeated the Bill to
reduce the rate Of interest to seven per
cen. Col. Brown made an able argu-
sment:in Its favor, but could not change
the elarge majority which voted against a
similar Bill last year. In the Senate the
Bill was defeated by. a vote oils tolls. A
change of,two votes would have reversed
the tate Of the Bill. It is not improba-
bic that the question will again be
brought before the Legislature on a
proposition to make the rate eight per
cent. instead of ten.

The Supreme Court OF the united
States has just rendered decisions in two
very important cases. The first is known
as the case of the Virginia officers, and
the other as the Kansas prohibition case.
In the XiEginiascase, the Court has dis
charged, on writ of Rabeas Corpus, the
Attorney-General Ayers and Common
wealth's Attorneys Scott and McCabe
from prison, who had been imprisoned by
the notorious Judge Bond of the United
States Circuit Court fox contempt, for
obeying the laws of the State of Virginia
instead of an order made by him forbid
ing the State officers from instituting suit
for taxes against delinquents. The Vir-
ginia officers obeyed the laws of the
State, and Judge Bond imprisoned them
for it. What spectacle! A State of the
Union at the feet of a notorious Circuit
Judge. If the Supreme Court had sus-
tanned the Circuit Judge in his unconsti-
tutional and high handed assumption of
more than dictatorial powers, the States
would be nothing more than toys in the
hands of Federal Circuit Judges. The
Supreme Court declares that the orders
of Judge Bond adjudging the State officers
in contempt are void, and their impris-
onment without the authority of law, and
directs their. discharge. Judge Bonds
unconstitutional assumptions of powers,
and the imprisonment of State in the
person of its officers, is crime against
the Constitution and the State of Vir-
ginia, aud as richly merits punishment
as did the treason of Arnold. Like
Arnold, he may escape the punishment
oflaw, bat he must like Arnold suffer the
infamy which attaches to his name for
his high.banded dictatorial assumptions
on the Bench. In the Kansas prohibit
tion cases, the Supreme Court decided
that the Kansas Prohibition Act is con-
stitutional. The decision places in light
go clear the doctrines of the rights of
citizens, and taking private property
without due process of Law, that the only
surprise is that they should ever have
been used against the right Of State TO
pass a prohibition Law. The Count
decides that the right of State to regu.
late the sale of liquor did not invade the
constitutional rights of citizens that the
right TO manufacture drink for ones own
use is subject to the restriction that it
shall not iDjuriously affect the public;
that what measures were necessary
Tor the preservation of the public
morals, health and safety had been
vested in the State under the police
power to regulate their own internal con.
Germs; that a State could prohibit The
liquor traffic, because it was we'll known
that the abuse of the liquor traffic was
productive ofpanperism aud crime; and
that brewers hold their property subject
to the obligation that it shall not be used
80 as TO injuriously affect the rights of
the community, and thereby become a
nuisance. This decision settles these
questions, and assures to the States their
rights to control the making and sale of
spirituous LIQUORS.

Elm The Senate on last Thursday the
joint Resolution providing for callingIa
Constitutional Convention came up for
nsideration, and on the call of Senator
Smythe, the vote on passing it to its third
reading was taken by yeas and nays, and
resulted in 20 yeas to l3 nays. Senator
,Smythe raised the Constitutional objec.
ton that the Bill had not received a two
.thIdstVote. The vote on the Joint Res.
:olntion was thereupon reconsidered, and
twas placed back on the calendar. On
Friday itwent through the same process,
except that it gained two votes. 1t
requires "a votes to pass it. The Senate
may get the two-thirds vote in favor of
it, and if so, it will be sent to the House.
Itis not likely to pass, but it could do
so, the State would be greatly benefited.

INFORMATION INVITED.

The following resolutions were offered
by G. W. Shell, of Laurens, and adopted
by the Convention:
ResoIved, That this Farmers Conven.
ton respectfully invite the Board OF
Trustees of the South Carolina College to
send such one or more of their number
Of the faculty of the South Carolina
College to meet this Convention to night
at 7.SO O'Clock to explain and discuss the
question of agricultural education and the
best means OF promoting the same in
South Carolina, and that committee OF
three be appointed at once to extend this
Invitation.
Resolred, That the discussion to be had
on the subject is for the purpose of
arriving at just conclusions. and any
gentleman, whether q member Of this
Convention or of the General Assembly,
who feels that he can add any light,
shall have the privilege Of being heard.
Messrs. Shell, Ancrum and Fish burne
were appointed on the committee.
A resolution was adopted that com.
mittee of three be appointed to convey
the invitation above Indicated and
Messrs. G. w. Shell of Laurens, Ancrum
of Kershaw and ..Fishburne of Coleton
were appointed such committee.
The report of DR.: W. P. Addison, the
Treasurer, vas read. From ii was learned
that of S74 collected at the last Conven.
ton, S69.75 had been expended, leaving
balance of $4.25. An auditing commit.
tee was appointed to examine the Treas
urer's report.
Captain Iredell Jones, of York, offered
series of resolutions. The first caused
something of a sensation as it was to the
effect that the sense of the Convention be
expressed in favor Of the postponement
of any move to secure separate Agri-
cultural College at this time, inasmuch
as the matter had been the subject Of
experiment in other States and the
results were not sufficiently advanced to
determine the SUCCESS of the plan. The
following ones were of q mild and general
character. All were referred TO the
Committee on Resolutions.
Mr.. Watson, of Anderson, wanted to
offer resolution in regard to the funding
of the State debt, but delegate suggest
ing that the Legislature would probably
move in the matter, he did not insist.
He, however, offered another resolution.
which he said had been adopted at the
County Convention of farmers in Ander-
son. It was to the effect that the Con-
vention endorse the plan of separate
Agricultural College and the reorganiza-

The experimental farm was now in
operation, the mechanical workshops
we're in operation. and he hoped his hear
ers would go and see the work of the
hands of the youth of South Carolina.
This plan doubles, trebles and magui-
fies everything in the original plan of
this college and makes its graduates the
peers of those in any State.
He hoped the plan would meet not
only with the approval of the Conven.
tion, but that of the representatives OF
the General Assembly.

leave to present copy of the Trustees
report, which with his remarks, on mo.
ton, were received as information.
Captain Tillman made the report of
the Committee on Resolutions, prefacing
the same by some remarks to the effect

LEARNING A TRADE.
A Sound Argument in Favor of Boys Ac
curing knowledge in Shops.

A Sound Argument in Favor of Boys Ac-
curing knowledge in Shops.
When a boy has once gained the
practical knowledge which every boy
of the least ability will naturally acquire
in shop lie is fitted to convert the
knowledge which college or univer-
sitv offers Kim into useful wisdom.
The greatest fallacy of modern edu-
cationists is that a boy can bett er be
taught 10 do something by theory than
he can learn to do something by prac-
tic. This has never proved true, and
there is no reason to believe that it ever
will. There are thousands of college
graduates in this country to-day whose
prospects of getting living are ex-
tremely precarious, because they know
nothing except what they were taught
at college. On the other hand, there
are great many who have had their
ideas broadened by a college course,
and correspondingly benefited thereby.
Simple as the whole matter is, there are
many who can not be made to see it,
and they are helped along sometimes,
in their blindness, by those who ought
to know better. The idea that college
course alone will fit man to get
decent living is as fallacious as the idea
that such a course can not help him
in getting along in the world. The
best advice. in our opinion, that can be
given boys in this respect is: Do not
depend upon what you may acquire at
some institution of learning to get you
comfortably through the world. The
failures will BE a hundred to one. On
the contrary do not despise what you
may learn at schools and colleges.
This will be mistake, though not so
fatal as the one first named.
